Velikie Luki. ----------------------------------------- Like FM continues to develop its regional broadcasting network - now high-tech radio can be heard in Velikiye Luki (Pskov region). On December 8, the Like FM radio station sounded in one of the oldest cities in Russia - Velikiye Luki. It is the second largest city in the Pskov region, located in the south of the region, where today more than 90 thousand people live. In the "southern capital" of the Pskov region, as Velikiye Luki is often called, Like FM is broadcast on 91.5 FM. The radio station in the city was awaited by everyone who follows trends and is not afraid to try new things, it's no secret, the main credo of Like FM is to always be at the forefront of modern music and modern radio. It is at this frequency that you can hear the main novelties of Russian and foreign charts, bright tracks performed by popular hitmakers and talented freshmen, and the unique Trend Chart, created by the radio station in cooperation with Apple Music, even gives an opportunity to look into the future of the music industry. This year, the revolutionary project was also noted by the professional radio community, adding to the Like FM treasury yet another gold microphone of the national award "Radiomania" - the main award in the field of radio broadcasting in Russia. In addition, Like FM takes into account the tastes and needs of today's youth as much as possible. For the same period of time, this radio plays more hits than any other - the best fragments of the compositions are broadcast on the air. At the same time, listeners themselves form a playlist by liking tracks in the mobile application, on the website www.likefm.ru and in the official accounts of the radio station. The formation of its own federal network Like FM began in December last year. Having conquered the metropolitan audience, the successful high-tech format first broke into the air of Krasnoyarsk (95.0 FM), and already in the first days of 2021 appeared in Ryazan (103.2 FM) and in two cities of the Bryansk region - in Bryansk (100.3 FM) and the city of Unecha (100.7 FM). Then the radio station sounded in Orekhovo-Zuevo near Moscow on 92.6 FM, and now Like FM turned on Velikiye Luki. The construction of the Like FM regional broadcasting network continues, with new cities ahead.

The meeting was held at the Archives Committee chaired by Vice Governor Vladimir Knyaginin. The participants of the meeting, among many other issues, discussed the use of artificial intelligence in the process of digitizing audio documents stored in the archives of St. Petersburg. It was noted that the automatic speech recognition program "Nestor", developed by the "Center for Speech Technologies", allows for about 5 minutes to decrypt and translate into printed text any audio file with a duration of 60 minutes. At the meeting, it was recalled that, on behalf of Governor Alexander Beglov, the city archive in 2021 accepted the collection of audio documents of the Leningrad House of Radio for storage. Experts have already started digitizing it using artificial intelligence. More precisely, one of the varieties of artificial intelligence - neural networks. As the participants of the discussion assured, the use of neural networks will significantly increase the efficiency of digitizing unique audio files. photo: gov.spb.ru | text: gorod-plus.tv (https://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__81754/) * Let's remember the radio operator from the village of Petrilovo.

TV Time of Yamal, Salekhard. Video - 2:26 https://vk.com/public158109176?z=video-158109176_456239252%2F2674a75ff74a5f5967%2Fpl_wall_-158109176 In the bowels of Rostelecom. A strategically important underground communications center was declassified near Yekaterinburg and was shown to journalists for the first time. Anastasia Dogdaeva studied the underground communications of a unique object. Anastasia Dogdaeva - correspondent: "It looks like an unremarkable hill, in a very ordinary field. Hides seven hectares of information city. Or rather, a federal communications center. " Journalists have never set foot here before. More recently, with the introduction of new methods of data encryption, the security label has been removed from the facility. For half a century, more than 150 projects have been implemented at this transport communication center, most of them at the federal level. Valery Demenshin - Head of the Transport Center for Technical Operation of Telecommunications: "About 80% of the channels go to the Far East and Siberia from here. And almost 100% abroad. " Sixty kilometers from Yekaterinburg, deep underground, cities and people unite. Countries and continents. All trunk channels flock to this communication center. (https://vk.com/public158109176) * For its eighth birthday, the Rossiya Segodnya media group has renewed its corporate identity. -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- The holding's designers have modernized its logo, color palette, fonts and pattern. The main element in the composition of the logo is the globe. This reflects the fact that the Moscow-based media group operates worldwide, has correspondents in 125 cities, and websites in 32 languages. But now the globe on the logo has moved to the left, and the name "Russia Today" has become visually indivisible, due to which a logical order of elements has been built. In addition, the descriptor "International Media Group" has been added to the logo, which indicates what "Russia Today" is at the present stage of development. Now the media group includes more than ten media outlets, including the leading news agencies RIA Novosti and Sputnik, websites in dozens of languages, radio, thematic resources that occupy leading positions in their fields. In addition, Rossiya Segodnya unites popular accounts and groups in all major social networks, press centers around the world, podcasts, and immersive projects. One of the important stages of the restyling was the replacement of the font in the logo design. Laconic geometric grotesque is one of the main trends in modern corporate design. The new typeface is clean and crisp and makes communication clear and strong. It also rhymes well with the globe sign due to its rounded shape. The Golos font will be used as the corporate font. It was developed by Russian designers in 2019 and is well suited for reading long texts from the screen. The character of the font corresponds to the tone chosen by the media group for communicating with the audience. Signature colors have become cleaner, darker and fuller. The new pattern demonstrates the diversity of the brand portfolio of the Russia Today media group. In the shapes of the figures, you can see simplified elements of the logos of RIA Novosti, the agency and radio Sputnik, the economic information agency PRIME and other media. The pattern was also developed for use in a digital environment in the form of an animated background. Together with the renewal of the corporate identity, a new corporate website for Russia Today was launched. It has become more modern, contains information about all media of the media group, its history, projects and commercial products. Versions in Russian and English are already available, and a version in Chinese will appear in the near future. "Our media group has a rich history, we have been releasing news for 80 years, and all this time we have not stood still. We have changed, adapted to new conditions, formats, standards, and often set new trends. Naturally, our names, image and style have undergone changes. Today it is very important for us to speak the same language with the audience, to be understandable and open. Renewal of the visual style is one of the important steps in this direction, "said Denis Zolotarev, head of the Russia Today media design department. photo: youtube freeze frame / Zubovsky, 4: media and journalism | text: content-review.com (https://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__81793/) * On the radio "Mir Belogorya" RDS has changed. ------------------------------------------------ Now they write there: MB RADIO, similarly in and RT. In September, the RDS on the district transmitters changed in a similar way, while transmitting the local weather in it. In addition, news from Belgorod recently appeared on the air, which is broadcast on a DTMF tag (the regional air at that moment should be news from municipalities, or a song from a playlist), but unfortunately the sound quality has lost a lot.

The climb seems to have no end. The steep follows the steep. My friend and I can barely move our legs from fatigue. Flocks of cheeky mosquitoes hover over our heads, and we have no strength to brush them off. Peak 704 is still not visible. Where is he, this radio amateur camp, spread in the skies, at an altitude of 704 meters above sea level? Its masts are so clearly visible from the valley, but try to find them in the impassable wilds of the Ilmensky Reserve! It is incomprehensible to the mind how radio amateurs climb the mountain two, three times a day, when after only one ascent we are ready, as they say, to give our souls to God! ...

(Ralph Perry, Wheaton-IL-USA, Naswa Electronic Flashsheet #1022 Nov 14) BELARUS (non) - A Russian-language pirate station called Radio Free Waves Bay has been heard regularly across Europe in the evenings on 3940 kHz [see logs above-ed]. It had been suggested by some sources that the station was located in Smolensk in western Russian, between Moscow and the border with Belarus. But a posting on the Ukrainian DX Blog says TDoA results point to a site in northern Belarus for both 3940 and a medium wave outlet on 1575 kHz (TDoA = "Time Distance of Arrival", a technique used to try and pinpoint a station's location using receivers in different sites). It has also been reported that station rebroadcasts Russian-language material such as podcasts and other material from the internet, some of it is radio-related while other material has been political. Also Western and Russian music has been heard on the station. It is thought the power could be up to 2kW. A DXer in St Petersburg has received an eQSL from the Free Waves Bay. The station has a web address of and email address given as <6783432@gmail.com> For many years Russian "hooligan" stations have been heard around 3100 kHz with QSOs, music and other chat. But Free Waves Bay has moved into a more higher profile location on the edge on the 75 metre broadcast band where more people are likely to hear it. Another Russian station called Radio Gromel was also reported on 3920 USB last month playing a mix of Russian and Western music, reported by DXers on the HF Underground forum.
